Most designers start working on designing just for fun. And they want to work in the area.

If you are wondering how younger persons wanna get to design and devolvements, What the first thing they should do, is in this Article I want to talk about the personal story and practical things that I think you should do today to get started with design. 

 

⦿ 3 things A designer does to become a designer:

• • Learning technical skills
    Today design is mostly done on the computer and you have to know the way to work with it. And the first step is to know the tool. Even to a basic degree. The tools you need to learn to depend on what kind of design are you going to be, even if you want to be a web design or app designer, UI design and Probably my advice will be to learn sketching. If you want to do another pop type of design branding or photo design or photo editing, 3D that depends. For haps you should learn photoshop, Photoshop is also pretty basic and everyone should know around designs.
    
    When I started that not many things over the internet and learned mostly from figma.com I think is a great resource to check before you start.
    If you want some kind of really full courses, at the end of it you will learn the application pretty well. 
    
    But today, I think there is so much free content over the internet and on youtube especially and many other places, so it depends on what you want to learn, maybe you want to learn from a book or to go to an actual class to meet with other people. It depends on how you work, but since you read this article for example just search on google for how to learn design tutorial that will be a greate place to start. 

• • Create new opportunities for yourself
    Once you learn the basic program and software for a skill you can start just doing stapp for fun you can start copying other people’s style/. Try to make others you may like, if you see some app you like try to create a similar app of your own. Just experiment and try to be professional with this software.

• • Learn the basic History of Design to be a professional
    Even those software are very important knowing how you use tools. Without having the idea of what to do with it it’s actually kind of meaningless, I mean you can copy other people’s work and that’s nice but if you want to really start a meaningful design with a how to solve problems and the meaning of conceptual of part of design thinking .than you really need to learn the theory. the best thinking will be to just read a lot of books, you can probably find this information on the internet but a lot of steps are being in books the classic books of photography and other books, but there are a lot of articles out there, history of the design history of art you have to king getting to the theory of how to work as a designer. Reading a lot of articles and books or watching a lot of history videos. 
    
    If you want to go to design school is a greate thing but if you dont get a full degree you should learn all of it by yourself about design theory. 
    
    There is only a limit to how much you can do by yourself and if you really want to become a good designer, the only way to do it right is by interacting with other people other designers that will give you feedback on your work that would mentor you and to actually start working and doing a project for clients. To do that you need to start engaging with other people which can be by going to meet-ups or events going to a hackathon or organic or trying to get a job, try to get an internship because there is a limit if you want to do it by youself and not getting feedback .. non earning you can never be a good designer. And whatever way fits you. 

⦿ Conclusion:

If you’re not a designer yet and you see many or all of the signs pointing you towards your destined career path, don’t let this moment pass.
